Pure Metal Ytterbium Powder Rare Earth Yb powder CAS 7440-64-4 High-Entropy Alloys-copy

The world famous German IPG laser company recently announced that their newly launched ytterbium-doped fiber laser system has very excellent beam characteristics, a pump life of more than 50.000 hours, the central emission wavelength of 1070nm-1080nm, the output power can reach 20KW, has been used in fine welding, cutting and rock drilling and other aspects.

Laser materials are the core and foundation of developing laser technology. In the laser industry, there has always been a saying of "one generation of materials, one generation of devices". It is necessary to have laser materials with excellent performance and integrate other related technologies in order to develop advanced and practical laser devices. Ytterbium-doped laser crystals and laser glass, as the new force of solid laser materials, are promoting the innovative development of fiber optic communication and laser technology, especially in the high-power nuclear fusion laser, high-energy patting watt (PW, 1015W) laser, high-energy weapon laser and other cutting-edge laser technology will make important contributions.

In addition, according to some articles, ytterbium is also used in phosphor activators, radio ceramics, electronic computer memory components (magnetic bubble) additives and optical glass additives.
